AN EXCHANGE says, "A man who
will stop a $3.50 paper, thinking to
ruin the editor, must have a moral
range of vision equal to the open end
of pork barrel
PEOPLE all over the country will
commend the action of Texas jury
which last week sentenced striker to
life imprisonment for shooting an of
| ficer. A man probably has right to
strike whenever he pleases, but he has
no right to arm himself, as this man
did, and go out and say to his fellow
wOrk-men. You must stop work also. y
At this point our people draw the line,
and the Texas jury in this pretty truly
represented the feeling of the entire
country.
WE ARE in receipt of the Kansas
Crop and Weather Bulletin, published
by the State Board of Agriculture.
The report is brought up to June 10th.
The showing for wheat is not very
good. The acreage sown is found to
be the smallest sine 1875, and the pres
ent condition would indicate that the
state will not raise more than will be
needed for seed and bred. Corn, the
acreage is at least twenty-five per cent.
greater than any previous year, and
the outlook was never better at this
season. Oats it is estimated will fall
forty per cent. below the usual yield.
VERIFY the outlook for Great Bend
grows brighter every day. We have
seen no town in Kansas of equal popu-
latiOn that has done so much building
in the past six months. Public enter
prises have been at premium, and no
city has done more in this direction in
so short Il period. We have several
public enterprises now under way and
judging from the public spirit mani
tested in the past, we are inclined to
think that each of them will be pushed
to a successful termination. This is
| really what makes successful cities. the
energy of their citizens. And if Great
Bend goes on in the future as in the
past six months its future is assured.

The Acrostic Fiend.

Sundays Leavenworth Times con-
tains very pleasant little poetical
effusion. To read it hurriedly one
would consider it the work of an ordi-
nary blacksmith in the poetry line, but
glance down the thing ''acrostically'
and see if the acroStic fiend hasn't got
his work in on d. r. Anthony in ele-
CANT shape. Here it is:
I've heard Of the boomlet,
booming, booming,
Mighty and free awhile;
A dancing and prancing
Down hill and DER valley
Aye, for many mile.
Me thinks that L see it,
Now coming now coming,
Filling some pockets with gold,
Oh! then it does leave you
Oh! then it deceives you
Leaves you after you're sold.
MORAL.
Do not trust TO booming.
Remember to the letter.
